The Renegades Arts and Theatre Society started in 2006; we have three
theatre productions and one film to our credit and we’re not stopping there! We
started off as an amateur theatre group full of energetic people who had a few
things in common- our interest in theatre, art and film. With the number of
past productions we have done, we have progressed enormously in the vast
theatre fraternity here in Bangalore.
We wanted this production to mean a little more than the rest. We want it to draw more people into the art of theatre and storytelling. It isn’t easy producing a play; it involves a number of things that we may not notice in the final production of the play, such as getting the rights to the play, the casting of the actors, the number of practice sessions that go into the production, etc. If there are people interested in knowing more about theatre, we would be happy to take you on this journey with us! We have with us a series of interviews with the cast and crew of the play, behind the scene takes of the practice sessions, information on how to get things done while producing a play and finally the finished play that you can attend and watch first hand!
From our first production, Kamala
(2006), to our next production which will be The Pillowman we have gathered a large number of theatre
enthusiasts who have become a part of our theatre group, and we always welcome
more such individuals in the future who share the same kind of passion for the
arts that we do.
The production of The Pillowman will be our largest ever production so far and we can’t be more excited about it than we already are! Since 2006 we have with us a several members of the group who have studied film, architecture, engineering, photography, law, animation etc., and who will be putting in all that we have learnt into this production of The Pillowman.

For our first blog we have an interview with our production manager
Sudhir Selvaraj. Sudhir has been one of the founding members of the Renegade
Theatre and Arts. He graduated from Concordia College, MN, in 2011, majoring in International Relations and Political Science. He is currently working at PlayRight Education. Sudhir has
vast experience in planning events and has been a part of over 15 theatre
productions as an actor,director, producer and writer. He is an avid photographer in his free time
(when he has some). In the interview Sudhir explains the role of a production
manager, how to finalize a venue for the play; build a team around the
production etc. Comment below if you have any questions you many want to ask
Sudhir. As an added bonus we also have a few scenes from our first few
readings.
